New preprint: Neural manifolds that orchestrate walking and stopping Here we develop a new theory for neural generation of walking and how it can stop- Next we test the theory using Neuropixels probes in the lumber spinal cord of freely moving rats. See more: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Wonderful to see this important paper come out yesterday- Congrats Lahiru, Nick, and Chethan @chethanp.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Should domain experts evaluate a paper/grant that has paradigm-challenging ideas? Yamamoto says never because they are unlikely to do it objectively since it threatens their own paradigms. Instead, use generalist reviewers. Interesting interview: nightscience.buzzsprout.com/1744020/epis...

Our new preprint on how excitatory V2a and inhibitory V1 and V2b neurons cooperate to drive scratching rhythm, with a new neuromechanical model showing how CPG perturbations affect rhythm and phase of motoneuron firing and frequency of joint oscillations www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Walking is an essential part of life- yet we do not know how the nervous system generates the underlying neural programs. Please find our sneak-peek preprint on neural generation of locomotion in the mouse: biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Pan-neuronal one-spot tracks in lumbar cord w clearing & LSM

I have shared the lab with another scientist (Kenneth Harris) for the last 15 years, and it's great fun. The interaction is definitely supralinear. However, lest some Dean read this and get carried away: this cannot be an arranged marriage! Most scientists are fine with their own lab.
